Vanderbilt Establishes the Connected Computing Task Force

There is little in the modern world that is more influential in our lives than the computers we interact with every day. Vanderbilt has long recognized this and has valued being on the cutting edge of study and innovation in this field. To continue that goal, Vanderbilt has created the College of Connected Computing to help facilitate communication and connection across the university with the solemn goal of preparing Vanderbilt’s students to be leaders fields and advance research across the university.

EBRL’s own Dr. Laurie Cutting has been recruited as part of the task force to help develop this new college and help guide it towards the university’s goal of remaining a global leader in computation.

Dr. Laurie Cutting Appointed Associate Provost

Effective August 1st, Dr. Laurie Cutting received an appointment of Associate Provost in the Office of the Vice Provost for Research and Innovation. No stranger to appointments and accolades, Dr. Cutting is happy to be given the chance to drive innovative research forward and strengthen ties with Vanderbilt’s many research partners.

“Laurie is a recognized leader in her field with a strong track record of collaborating with VUMC researchers through her work with the Vanderbilt Kennedy Center,” said Padma Raghavan, vice provost for research and innovation. “As associate provost, she will leverage her areas of expertise and broad network of colleagues to spearhead the development of interdisciplinary translational research and innovation proposals to ARPA-H.”
